There's the 5 feet foredeck which leads behind to a element pillar. Putting it upon E brook as well as withdrawal vessel batch as a make done it. Why.
Max out the HP. Trust me on this. I know for mine its 40HP, but I 2010 Bass Tracker Pro 160 For Sale got the 25 instead. Rookie mistake!! Always keep your boat covered when its not in use. Prolonged exposure to the elements will rot out the wooden deck and carpet. Another costly mistake I learned from. For example. If you have a 12 volt system, max out your TM, and run with 55lb.
I upgraded a couple of years ago to a MK Maxxum and its been a night and day difference ever since. Lastly, if you don't run your boat often, and you find it sits for a while. Run the motor every week or 2 for about 3 min. Treat your fuel if you run ethanol or not. Another area I learned the hard way with. BassinLou made all great points. I too cover my boat and the cover is wrecked.
I could only imagine what my boat would look like if I didn't cover it. Just to be clear, when bassinlou said run the motor, it needs to run with earmuffs off the garden hose. IMO If you plan on keeping the boat awhile and can afford it, there are a few upgrades I think that would make your boat ownership experience an enjoyment than a regret.
Tracker is known for skimping on things to keep the price point attractive. A few upgrades and your overall boating experience will be much more positive.
If I had to make a choice with the above, I'd max out the trolling motor before I Bass Tracker Pro 160 Used Youtube got a bigger motor. Let's face it a Pro isn't built for speed. You spend more time using the trolling motor than the big motor, you might as well make that the first upgrade. A must have is an onboard charger with 1 bank per battery.
Don't let anyone tell you only need a charger for the trolling motor batteries. In theory, the outboard will keep the starting battery charged. If you are not making long runs this will not be the case and one day you'll be at the ramp and the motor wont start because the last few trips you didn't drive it enough. The standard 3" graphs that Tracker puts on their boats are cute. Not real practical but cute.
Normally only one on the console is included. I would recommend getting a minimum 5" graph at both the console and the bow. Follow the motor manufacturers instructions during the break in period.
The manufacturer reserves the right to decline warranty coverage if the procedure is not followed properly. Treat your fuel on every fill up. Seafoam is a good product to get in the habit of using. Mercury makes their own fuel treatments as well. You need a PFD for every passenger. You need a throwable cushion. You need a marine rated fire extinguisher. You need a first aid kit. If the boat doesn't come with a horn, you need a horn in a can.
I advise you to check the requirements for your local waters to see if there are any special requirements. Slone you are correct. Sorry I wasn't clear on that. Flushing units are a must when running your outboard outside of the water. If your motor isn't peeing when you have the flushing unit on, readjust them.
But the engine has to be peeing once it warms up and the thermostat kicks in. Sloan's advice is much more thorough and I would follow that. As far as horse power and trolling motor size- you should be able to finance both. Not sure of your financial situation but if you can't afford the larger motor and trolling motor, I would wait. There is a lot more to owning a boat than a monthly payment.
Before you buy, test drive the boat. Get it on the water. The dealer should allow you to try it. Make sure you like it before you purchase it. Get on the bow and run the trolling motor, move around and see how stable it is. If that dealer won't let you test drive the boat you're wanting to buy then find another dealer. I'd never buy a car without driving it, same thing goes for a boat. You may find out you don't like it. And if you already signed the the papers you're stuck with something you now don't like.
All great advise. Don't overlook buying used. You can get more HP on main motor and TM for the money. If you don't know a lot about boats, you probably know someone who does, take them with you when you are looking.
If you can swing a new boat with enough motor, that to me is the way to go but don't rule out used. The tracker does weigh more than the skorpion.. Just look at weights A lot of good advice up there. My 94, Tracker TV was my first boat and still is. It came with a 40 hp Merc but everyone told me to upgrade to the I did and never regretted it as it didn't really bump up the payment that much more. If I ever buy another boat it will have a four cycle motor though. Thanks for all the advice!!
I am going to look at it this week and take a buddy of mine who has a boat with me. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

Follow us as we "check off" the important fishing equipment The Pro has a one-piece helm console that houses the boat's steering wheel, basic gauges, switches, fishfinder and plug-ins.
This is a feature usually not seen on aluminum fishing boats at this price-point. With its high plastic windscreen this console not only houses the helm, but it also protects the skipper from the wind and spray. We like the simplicity of the It has three switches on the dash with fuses adjacent.
Fewer things to go wrong. Less is more. For a fishing boat to be considered rigged and ready, it must have the basic necessities. For starters let's look for a trolling motor. This boat comes with a Minn Kota lb. What's more Tracker supplies a dedicated battery for it. The unit is the Edge 45 which has a 45" shaft and lbs of thrust. The prop used is the weedless Wedge 2.
The composite bullet is impact resistant and the spine is marine-grade anodized aluminum. It has a 2-year factory warranty. The all-welded construction is easily seen here at the bow. The lb. The trolling motor deployed to silently sneak up on inattentive fish. Note the well-designed and comfortable-looking foot pedal. We need a livewell to keep the bait fresh, or keep the catch alive. The boat has a 9-gal. Additionally, this livewell is all one-piece construction, so no loose parts can go flying off as we cruise to the fishing hole.
When not fishing, it can be used for storage. Notice the reinforced aluminum lid. The location is handy to both the bow and the stern of the boat.
How about a fishfinder? Tracker includes a Lowrance X-4 Pro fishfinder with a surface temperature display and a swivel mounting bracket making it viewable from the bow. The 4-X Pro delivers superior target detail and the display can be read even in bright sunlight. It has both auto and manual operation and reads down to 1, ft. It has a one-year factory warranty. The X-4 Pro is designed for both shallow and deep water fishfinding coverage. It is fully waterproof. Rod holders?
The Pro accommodates four rods up to 7' 2. There are also storage bins, both in-deck and under the seats. Four rods up to 7' 2. With small boats, storage usually suffers, but not so in the Pro Notice the pinchless hinge-type fold-down seats.
Additional storage is just behind the seats. As this is an area that will get stepped on quite frequently, the lid is reinforced, and a lip keeps it from getting pushed into the compartment. A "must have" piece of fishing equipment. There are two pedestal seats, with screw-in bases both fore and aft on the casting decks.
These screw-in Bass Tracker Pro 160 Top Speed Error bases are solid and are of a type used in some of the most expensive bass boats. Two pedestal-mounted casting seats come standard with the Pro Both have pedestals that screw into solid metal basis in the deck. Of course a deal is not a deal if it has to sit in the yard. This Pro comes with a trailer with 12" wheels. It's color-matched with powder-coated steel tubing and Galvashield corrosion protection. The bunks are carpeted, nylon tie-down straps are included, and the lights are submersible.
Brakes are the only add-on that might be a necessary option because some local laws may require them. The trailer also comes with a folding-tongue jack and outboard motor support which makes storage in the garage so much easier.
The custom-matched trailer has EZ lube hubs and an all-welded frame. The total package seen here weighs 1, lbs. The hp, electric-start, carbureted 4-stroke Mercury engine has good low-end torque because it is an SOHC design. Standard power is a Mercury 20 EL 4-Stroke with electric start. It is a two-cylinder in-line single overhead cam SOHC , carbureted engine with a total of cc of displacement.
SOHC engines are known for their low-end torque and that is precisely what this rig needs. More good news: the engine weighs only about lbs. Other features of the Mercury 20 EL include a "fuel primer fast idle system" which is better than an auto-chock with today's fuel. It has a low-oil pressure warning system and a back-up rope start in case of a dead battery. It has six trim positions which maximizes hull performance and permits shallow water operation.
The engine comes with a Mercury 3-year warranty which covers the engine, rigging components and controls. It also has a concurrent 3-year anti-corrosion warranty. Extended factory backed warranty coverage up to seven years can be purchased. The Pro is exceedingly well-equipped for a boat at this price point and even comes with a fire extinguisher and a paddle.
We have not tested the new Pro so we can give no verifiable performance data. Tracker tells us that with this engine they are reaching top 2019 Bass Tracker Pro 160 Price speeds between mph with a light load aboard. With a heavy load top speed its more like 18 or 19 mph. All have 20" 51 cm shafts. The deadrise of the boat is just 6-degrees at the transom. This is a low deadrise angle and helps the boat get on plane fast, have a higher top speed, and be more fuel efficient at cruise than it would otherwise.
